Hangzhou

So, I am terribly behind on up-dating our China trip. And since then we've been back to the states and went to Berlin. Needless to say I have a lot of catching up to do. I'll try to get it all caught up by the end of the month.

After Shanghai we went to Hangzhou. Famous for its' beautiful lakes, gardens and green tea.
These are a few pictures from West Lake.


From West Lake we walked to another Buddhist Temple.

And then we headed over for a lesson in traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony. The Chinese Green Tea is a bit different than what we are used to, but it is incredible healthy and all natural. Jason enjoyed this so much he actually bought some tea. We bought two cannister and he's still working on his first. The packed it so tight and full and you can use just a pinch of leaves and it lasts all day.
